    haha.

     

    Ok, now i think i asked this a while back, with pics and everything cuz noone really understood what i was asking, but this time its for Vista, which i'm pretty sure is wicked easy, cuz i thought i did it before when i was testing out an RC:

     

    How do i add my OWN CUSTOM link to the RIGHT PANE of the Start Menu? You know, amongst the Pictures, Documents, Music, etc? I want to have one that goes straight to say, a Downloads folder. Now i know i can change the location of each one, but i want to keep each one, and just add another. Help plx?

     

     

    i dont even know how to do that in xp......

    CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL

    This has got to be one of the funniest things I've heard of in a long

    time I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a

    true phone call from the Word Perfect Help line, which was transcribed

    from a Recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to

    say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing

    the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without Cause." This is

    actual Dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. Now

    know why they record these conversations!

    "Ridge Hall computer assistance; May I help you?"

    "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

    "What sort of trouble?"

    "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

    "Went away?"

    "They disappeared."

    "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

    "Nothing."

    "Nothing?"

    "It's blank, it won't accept anything when I type."

    "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

    "How do I tell?"

    "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"

    "What's a sea-prompt?"

    "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"

    "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

    "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

    "What's a monitor?"

    "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have

    a little light that tells you when it's on?"

    "I don't know."

    "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord

    goes into it. Can you see that?"

    "Yes, I think so."

    "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into

    the wall."

    "Yes, it is."

    "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two

    cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

    "No ."

    "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other

    cable."

    "Okay, here it is."

    "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of

    your computer."

    "I can't reach."

    "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

    "No."

    "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

    "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's

    dark."

    "Dark?"

    "Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from

    the window."

    "Well, turn on the office light then."

    "I can't."

    "No? Why not?"

    "Because there's a power failure."

    "A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you

    still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came

    in?"

    "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

    "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it

    was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

    "Really? Is it that bad?"

    "Yes, I'm afraid it is."

    "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

    "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

    the user most likely changed a setting in their profile that is preventing the desktop from loading. If the profile is located server side I would recommend making a backup for server side stored file such as favorites and documents and then deleting the profile and creating a new one with the same user name

     

     

    yeah.. ended up having to create a new profile for them on that pc.... had to bump it off the domain and the put it back on first.... wasnt much too back up so i just said fuck it and let them re-do their own favorites and shit..... any idea what specifically could have caused this problem?

     

    weird shit has been happening there lately...... i had to recreate a POP3 mail account for someone in outlook that had been previously working with no problems.... i double and triple checked the way it was set up and it was fine but it wouldnt find the incoming server for shit..... then i recreated using the exact same everything and it worked perfectly.... only thing i can think is i overlooked a typo somewhere, but how the fuck would that have changed on its own?

    I know what you mean, like it just saves one frame instead of the whole animation. But it animates fine when it opens in IE7, just not in the windows viewer.

     

     

    is the vista viewer thing a photo editing thing too? cuz when you open a gif in something like photoshop all you get is one frame.... i have no clue cuz i havent fucked with vista yet, im just tryina think of shit it might be..... right click and hit preview? idfk?
